No. Like I said, "Scattered" season three's second episode. "Darkmouth, NV" is season three's first episode.

And on a side-note, Takara Tomy has announced that Transformers GO! will not be tied to this season, much less the series altogether. The translation was not clear if they mean they are going to continue the series, start their own side-series, or anything that might detail their plans for the future when it comes to their incarnation of PRIME and their Arms Micron line.

My prediction for the first episode: Optimus actually used the Star Saber to cut off his own arm to close the ground bridge right after he went through it. So, he is out there somewhere alone missing an arm and leaking energon...hence "Optimus struggles to survive."

My hope for episode two: That the Predacons are introduced in the first episode since there will only be thirteen overall. I'm crossing my fingers that "while the Decepticons welcome a key player to their ranks" isn't just the first emergence of Predaking that was shown in the trailer. Again, since this series is Beast Hunters the beasts had better be in every episode out of the gate (IMHO)!

Maybe the "key player" is the side-switcher...like Ratchet?

Also, does anyone think or expect the season to follow the "Tales of the Beast Hunters" snippets found in the BH toy instructions? I have mixed feelings about these bios/stories.

You could very well be right about it being Shockwave. Again, I just hope that the clip from the IGN trailer and the earlier teaser where Shocky introduces Predaking occurs in the first episode. Hence my speculation if your prediction doesn't happen (though it does seem most likely).

Every viable translator I used had given a slightly different take (with some portions not translating at all for two) of what is said. However, they all say that GO! is not part of the anime series. In all cases, finding a slightly better translation, they mean season 3.

Well... they might mention it off hand, in filling in the Predacons' backstories. They might want to show off their sense of continuity. A few generic statements are sometimes all the characterization the Cons get.

Interesting. Though, I usually don't trust machine translations (since places like Google Translate couldn't accurate translate full sentences to save a life ), but this does merit looking into. I've now asked about it elsewhere and hope to hear back about it.

Hopefully we'll get some more clarification in the near future.

Maybe, but I wouldn't expect too much of the story to follow it, considering how "Tales of the Beast Hunters" killed off Megatron.
